Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 692


Sophia slept until dusk, and she was woken up by someone. When she got up groggily, she saw John beside the bed. Held down by her fuzzy mind, she didn’t manage to show her anger yet. “What?”

John was smiling. “Grandma’s here, and she’s downstairs. Do you want to see her?”

Sophia grunted, and she slowly sat up while rubbing her face. “Why did she come at this hour?”

John patted her head. “She said she wants to see you.”

Sophia paused, then she realized what was happening. “You told her?” She frowned at him.

Pursing his lips, he said, “No. I told my dad, but he won’t hide something like this from her.”

Sophia felt like yelling—in fact, she didn’t want too many people knowing about her pregnancy.

On the other hand, John looked happy. “Grandma even said she’ll ask a fortune teller in the temple to predict a lucky day for us.” Sophia looked up at him, and he answered, “We’ll be registering our marriage then. We didn’t choose well the first time.”

Sophia almost laughed at how ridiculous it was. “My, my, aren’t we confident? You really think I’ll marry you, you shameless b*stard?” She shoved him away afterward and went to wash her face, then she tied her hair and went downstairs, not looking at John.

Sure enough, Belinda was waiting downstairs with William by her side. Matilda was there, too, but she was sitting a few spaces away from Belinda. Ms. Cannon served some fruits and tea, and Matilda was sipping from her cup. They looked like they were meeting for the first time.

Sophia went down slowly. “Hello, Old Mrs. Constance.”

Belinda quickly looked back at Sophia, then she stared at her belly and beamed. “Take it slow, Sophia. Hold the handrail.”

Matilda put her cup down. “You guys carry on. I’ll be going out now.” She stood up and straightened herself out before exiting the living room.

William stood up after Matilda had left. Belinda looked at him and said, “Go.” Then William slowly went away.

Sophia sat before Belinda. “It’s quite late now. You didn’t have to come.”

Belinda was beaming so lovingly. “I’m here to see you. William just told me you’re pregnant. So, how do you feel? It must be exhausting for now.”

Sophia nodded. “It’s fine.”

Sophia nodded. “It’s fine.”

Belinda was liking Sophia more and more. “How long have you been pregnant? A month or so? It’s the hardest part, but once you get past three months, you’ll be back to your normal life. It’ll be better then.” Not knowing what to say, Sophia nodded, and Belinda heaved a long sigh. “I thought I’d pass without seeing my great-grandchild, but then I got my wish fulfilled.”

The mention of this made Sophia think about what John did. That b*stard just does whatever he wants. If it weren’t for him hiding what he did, Sophia wouldn’t even be pregnant. Then John came down and sat beside Sophia. Sophia couldn’t flare her temper at John right in front of Belinda, so she held her anger and sat beside him.

Belinda looked at John and told Sophia softly, “I’m going to pray in the temple tomorrow and ask the fortune teller to predict a lucky day for you two. Since you have John’s baby, I think you two should remarry. The baby can’t grow up without its father. Do you want another wedding? Or something else? You can decide.”
